Here is a link to the FAA publication regarding the use of battery-powered devices on commercial flights: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/passenger_info/media/faa_airline_passengers_and_batteries.pdf. As you can see, there is absolutely NO prohibition to the lithium battery (CR123) that the MiniMate GT ships with. As many of our MiniMate GT owners have switched over to a rechargeable battery system, we wanted to point out that the FAA article also permits the use of rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Of course, individual airlines may establish their own, more prohibitive policies if they wish. We have been selling this product for approximately 3 years and have encountered only 2-3 reports of individual airline prohibitions--all of which have been on United Airline flights. We are confident that this product meets the FAA Standards based on US DOT regulations (49 CFR, Sec. 175.10). Thank you very much for your Feedback. Most gratefully, Customer Service Team The Green Giraffe

Not to my knowledge. I've taken them on plenty of flights and never had an issue.

Yes, I would like to know this answer too. I am a flight attendant and I travel to other countries. I was wondering too if this works in other countries so I can keep track of my runs on my layovers

Don't know, I've never used them on plane. But I like them in cafés if that helps.

I do not know the answer to that b/c I've used mine only on domestic flights. Sorry.

Yes! I fly Delta exclusively and have never had a problem, even on the tiny commuter planes. It does not legally conform to standards, but I have flown on maybe 30 flights over the last 3 years and have never been hassled.

you have to buy them through a parts reseller / just google your plane -- like 'cessna 747 propellor' and you'll get vendors...

I don't quite follow what the commercial airlines is. If you mean you are going to use it on your flight, of course it is available. Hope this could help you:)

I'm sorry, I really don't know. I have never tried to use them on a plane...

No, actually, I am sure they are NOT acceptable for airline travel. They collapse for easy storage and to transport them without a dog, but they would not fit under any seat I've ever seen on a plane.

I'm guessing that you will have to check with the FAA or the airline that you wish to use. Sorry that I can't be of any help to you on this. +JMJ+

They're referred to as "control line" models. A few exist out there, but that has pretty much been overcome by the reduction in price of R/C models, especially those Ready To Fly and Park type models. Try searching Amazon, they have quite a selection of relatively inexpensive Park type models that are 2 and 3 channel R/C aircraft, and usually electric in nature. Any local hobby shop would have them also if you want to take a look in person. Hobbytown USA is a good place to start unless you have a local hobby shop you like also. You can also check out their website, just google it. They're referred to as "control line" models.

I have not tried these on a plane but have tried others. There is no reason they shouldn't; if the outlet is a different size you will need an adapter.
